Trust
Trust is a bit of a strange one. Most think you have to earn it but surely you have had to give a bit to then let that person earn it. And how can a person earn it if you never give them something to trust them with? I suppose you start with the little things, kinda tests I suppose, see how they get on, what they do with the info and slowly build it up over time.
There is a small amount of people who seem to give trust straight away. Are these the seinsible ones? Not letting it worry them and just trying to get on with it and the people around them. Not so sure when at some point they are sure to get taken advantage of or burnt in some way.
In a way it's kinda sad that you have to give yourself that kind of protection when it comes to friends. The fact that we have to prove our selves in some way. Part of a friendship is about the trust you have, hopefully, in each other. There again I suppose it all has to start and be built up from somewhere. As I said it's just a protection thing, a defense mechanism, human nature.
I could possibly be too trusting a points. Maybe giving away more that I need to? From personal experience when it has been broken it's very difficult for it to be built up again and makes it harder to continue trusting others.
What happens when the person is not yet a 'physical' one? By this I mean people you talk to through a messenger or by email. Makes it kinda difficult when the person is 'faceless'. Sure you can send pics but just because you are being truthful it don't mean they are. This is a whole different set of trust.
Maybe I'm just being to cynical? Just listening to the bad stories rather than finding the good ones that never seem to surface.
I've got no real idea where any of this came from. Maybe as I'm trying (being the word) to get to know more people it's kinda on my mind? Maybe as I look around there's a certain amount of trust stuff going on around me?

Thats sooo true! What can be no further feelings like love or friendship without trust.
